I was an excellent dedicated employee in good standing walmart for nearly 10-years before being finally wrongfully fired for reporting a managers abuse of employees including a handicapped female which other employees were AFRAID to report, and contacting the NLRB. That was just the begining of the hell they dragged me through. Walmart was charged with firing me for engaging in concerted protected activity by the NLRB. Walmart then forced me to first drop the charge before they would reinstate my job. After returning to work Walmart continually harrassed me with fraudulent write-ups and 2-more wrongful firings. When I reported this to the NLRB, as they had told me to do should it occur, as it would be illegal retaliation. The NLRB told me that they are taking Walmart to court and advised me to prepare for a long court process, but then they called me a couple days later to say that after speaking with the Walmart lawyer they suspiciously no longer want to pursue the case. Since then I have struggled through 4 appeals. I have provided 100% proof with eyewitness statements and a police statement that walmart ILLEGALY retaliated on me and told numerous deliberate defamatory lies to federal investigators in order to obstruct justice, grossly violating all kinds of Civil, Labor and serious Federal laws in what they did to me, but even with the backing of a Senator and a Congressman who wrote letters to the NLRB requesting an investigation, no action has been taken against walmart. Every agency I contacted and reported to has inconcievably refused to even try to hold walmart accountable to the law, and quite conversely seemed to actually be defending Walmart. The reason I was the one reporting was because the other employees said they believe Walmart controls the government with their lawyers and money, and even though we are supposed to have rights and laws, walmart will fire us and get away with it. Walmart masterfully uses this sick evil fear tactic so well that despite many employees being fully aware of the ongoing abuse and hearing the hysterical crying of a handicapped girl across the store they would not say anything for fear that they would lose their job, but I could not live with myself not saying anything. I told myself from the begining, do the right thing, follow the rules, tell the truth, and trust God, but it just didn't work out. It is just like fighting against the Devil himself. As my Pastor told me when I asked for his advice and prayers a couple months into this, this world has been persecuting people for thousands of years for telling the truth. It just did not occur to me that Walmart could be so inherently evil and our government so grossly corrupt. I struggle daily with the realization that this is the state that walmart has inflicted upon, and desecrated our country and our society into. Walmart employees have No Civil rights, No Human rights at all, and No Protection from Injustice under the Law. Walmart has free reign to do anything to anybody no matter how unethical, imoral, despicable, or illegal, and our government will support them in this, and help them suppress and crush anybody who tries to speak up about it.
Meanwhile, I have lost my job, 10 years invested in the company, and any hope of ever retiring, all because i reported the ongoing abuse that others were afraid to report and contacted the NLRB.

Me. I'll pay extra for goods that aren't made in Chinese slave labor factories in a heartbeat.
I've had a personal boycott of Walmart on for several years and it starts to look better and better every year - particularly after the corrupt alliance with Homeland Security that sees our tax dollars used to subsidize "the Wal" and its security costs. That company is robbing our country blind and crushing small and genuinely American retailers to boot.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be17c6eab8ea1e3c000012john1066Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:33:26 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be17c6eab8ea1e3c000012
I personally avoid the place. I might go once a year and that is only if I'm forced to.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be13c5eab8ea5234000007iDawgDCTue, 04 Dec 2012 10:16:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be13c5eab8ea5234000007
Also, why would the Huffington Post mention several of the so-called issues?
"HuffPost declined to mention Walmart's outstanding Black Friday sales." Why would they? I am still struggling with what this has to do with the article written by the Huffington Post.
"HuffPost overstates the scale of protests against the chain." Based on what?
"Walmart's PR people have bent over backwards to help HuffPost with reporting but gotten short shrift in published stories." Translation: Walmart PR people did their job and did not get treatment that was favorable to them therefore....NO MORE!
"HuffPost has a special landing page just for Walmart stories, something it doesn't do for other companies." Though I am sure that when the Huff Post puts Walmart strong sales stories, they love it?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be1089ecad04245300003chuffpo sucksTue, 04 Dec 2012 10:02:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be1089ecad04245300003c
truth is huffpo has become an even more shrilly baseless factless blog than it was before it was bought (or bought aol with aol's money). the only exception is that now they have more AP stories.
i have been seeing a lot of "review" from huffpo used in movie promotions & i have to admit that my first thought is that the movie must suck if they can't find more reputable reviews than HuffPohttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be0a45eab8ea1d1e00000fMrRyanConnorsTue, 04 Dec 2012 09:35:49 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be0a45eab8ea1d1e00000f
Walmart is the devil. But who can argue with $5 tube socks?
